HILLCLIMB AT LYTTELTON
Zephyr First In Racing Cars A large entry of 50 cars took part in the Canterbury Club's annual hillclimb at Lyttelton on Saturday.

Norris (120 EN Special), 46.04, 2; P. Leversedge (V 8 Special), 49.43, 3. Sports Cars.—B. Campion (Lotus), 46.27, 1; T. Allison (Austin Healey), 49.25, 2; D. Silcock (Jaguar XKI2O), 50.03, 3.
